Dividend scale interest rate of 6.0% has been extended until June 30, 2024

Empire Life is pleased to announce that the dividend scale, including the interest rate of 6.0% for our PAR products, is being maintained from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024, as approved by our Board of Directors earlier this year.

In addition to maintaining our dividend scale interest rate of 6%, we are pleased to share the following:

• There are no changes to the other factors used to calculate the dividend scale.
• The interest rate for the Cash Accumulation dividend option (Dividends on Deposit) remains unchanged at 4.0% for all participating whole life policies.
• For policies with a variable policy loan interest rate, it remains unchanged at 6.75%. This applies to new and existing policy loans.¹
